Still occurring. Was hoping the hotfix would resolve it, but alas it has not. ---

I never mentioned we found the issue or that it would be in the hotfix. This issue is still being investigated. ---

It’s soft locking on PS5 as well. The first 2 times it was after the first match was completed and then trying to load 2nd match. The last 2 times it was in the middle of the first match, so seems random. ---

Yeah, just got soft-locked on PS5, too. Wasn’t happening before, but now it has. Managed to get a video: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/9/69db8dc4d1d0fdf752793a2fa6977ca9fa209314.jpeg "Gems of War\_20260608210659") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRGSKsBVRiI) Saved a longer video, if you need more, but this is just before it locked. I could open the chat menu in the corner, and then open chat, but nothing else was working. Maybe if you finally fixed the bug where we can’t pause on enemy turns, at least we’d be able to quit out when this happens? EDIT: Blanked guild chat, for privacy. ---

And again: Went from the world map to treasure hunt, hoping to avoid softlocking, but it just keeps happening: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/5/a5559082e4301464972c7c6056426a38e01767f2.jpeg "Gems of War\_20260608221436") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QQpkmxBaxc) Hope we’ll be compensated for all our lost treasure hunts. Those maps are hard to get, you know(!) ---
